The Federation of Zavea is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Langley with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 32.412 billion Zaveans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oured. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zavean economy, worth an astonishing 16,101 trillion Zavean Standard Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 496,776 Zavean Standard Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The skeletons of lost tourists litter the ground of the Great Zavean Desert, people say chess victor Prime Minister Langley can kill you with mind-bullets, trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, and the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zavea's national animal is the Angel Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zavea is ranked 311,741^st in the world and 2,366^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -88.71 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
